- Recent price move
- Insecticides (India) Limited last traded at ₹580, modestly down 0.12% on the day.
- Recent developments
- 2026-07-21: Insecticides India launched GRANUVIA insecticide for brown plant hopper control in paddy, offering up to 60 days of protection and helping manage stem borer when applied at the recommended crop stage. This development could enhance the company's position in the pest control market, particularly in paddy cultivation.
- Financial performance
- The company's business is showing mixed signals, with annual revenue rising 7.0% but annual net profit falling 2.1%. The latest quarter saw revenue drop 11.4% compared to the same quarter a year earlier, and net profit fell 24.1%, indicating a significant slowdown in recent performance. Margins have also contracted, with the net profit margin declining 0.6 percentage points to 6.5%.
- Valuation multiples
- The stock trades at 12.1 times earnings, 1.46 times book value. It yields 0.3%.
- Things to watch
- The company's recent quarterly results show a sharp decline in revenue and net profit, which could signal underlying weakness in demand or pricing power. Additionally, the stock is trading 26.0% below its 52-week high, suggesting potential investor caution or a lack of confidence in future growth.
- Where it stands
- The DocStoX verdict of hold follows from the company's mixed performance, with strong long-term profit growth but recent weakness in quarterly results and margin compression. The most critical factor is the recent decline in quarterly profitability, which raises concerns about the company's ability to sustain growth.

DocStoX take
Supported by risk (8.3) and valuation (7.2), but held back by momentum (1.3). Risk looks strong at 8.3, but that is offset by momentum at 1.3. We are calling it Mixed rather than resolving the conflict for you.
